The Holidays are upon us, and with it come celebrations, parties and all sorts of seasonal treats. For people with gluten sensitivities, this is not the easiest time of year to navigate. Gluten is a mixture of proteins that occur naturally in wheat, rye, barley and crossbreeds of these grains. In the U.S., 3 million people are estimated to suffer from Celiac Disease, where the body’s natural defenses react to gluten by attacking the lining of the small intestines, which can result in malabsorption and nutrient deficiencies. Up to 1 percent of the U.S. population might be gluten sensitive. The best treatment is to avoid gluten altogether...

This year my almost-three-year-old, Bailey, is very excited for Christmas and for Santa to visit, so I’ve been making a list and checking it twice. Lately I’ve been reading a lot about how important imaginative play is for children, so I’d like to buy her a few things this holiday that will inspire her imagination, which is just starting to really bloom. I’m also trying to find items that are handcrafted, eco-friendly, and safe. If they are locally made or fair trade, even better. Here are a few things I’ve found so far. If you have any gift ideas to share, please leave a comment and let us know! ...

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), about 70 million Americans suffer from chronic sleep problems, and they stress the importance of healthy and sufficient sleep for our overall health. Public health announcements have cropped up on highway signs warning people of the dangers of drowsy driving. Sleep problems not only lead to increased risk of injury and lost work productivity, but they appear to contribute to chronic conditions like obesity and depression as well. So, how did we get so sleep deprived? It’s an interesting question to ask, especially considering the fact that we are located less than 30 miles from NYC, a city that,...

I've Just Started Using Some of Weleda's Skincare Products Recently and I Have To Say That I've Been So Pleasantly Surprised By The Results!! I Bought My First Product By Weleda A Month Ago And I Chose The Almond Soothing Facial Lotion Because I Have Super Dry Skin And I Wanted A Deep Moisturizing Lotion To Combat The Dryness! I've Tried Other Products That Claim To Be Intensive Moisturizers And They Seem To Help Temporarily, But Never Last Very Long. Not Only Did The Almond Soothing Facial Lotion Deeply Moisturize, Smooth & Plump, But The Results Lasted All Day!!! I Was So Excited Over My New Treasure Find, I Ran Out And Bought Another Tube For Fear That They Would Sell Out Or Wouldn't Have It In Stock When I Ran Out!! Weleda Calls It.....Almond Soothing Facial Lotion. I Call It.....My Mini Face Lift In A Tube!! After Using It For Over A Month Now, My Skin Has Transformed-It Looks & Feels Amazing!! Thanks Weleda!! #WeledaListens

EVEN BETTER, A BRAND NEW ATTITUDE?!! BECAUSE THAT IS HOW I FELT AFTER FINDING WELEDA' S SKIN FOOD!! I WAS CURSED, FOR SOME REASON, WITH SUPER DRY SKIN TO THE POINT OF REDNESS, ITCHING AND EVEN PAINFUL AT TIMES AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT PAIN CAN DO TO OUR OVER-ALL DEMEANOR, NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT DRY SKIN INFLAMED LOOKS HORRIBLE! THEN ONE DAY, IN TARGET, I WAS SHOPPING, FOR NO ONE THING IN PARTICULAR, AND A CUSTOMER WAS PICKING UP A TUBE AND SHE WAS SINGING ITS' PRAISES SO I BOUGHT A TUBE TO TRY AND IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SLATHER. AND I DO MEAN SLATHER, BECAUSE I PILED IT OWN NOT REALIZING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, I HAD FINALLY FOUND A CREME THAT I DIDN'T NEED TO OVER-APPLY BECAUSE OF SEVERELY DRY SKIN. NOT ONLY WERE THE RESULTS INSTANT, BUT THE LASTING EFFECTS WERE AMAZING!! USING SKIN FOOD, FOR ME, IS LIKE HAVING A NEW MAKEOVER THAT I LOVE, AN OUTFIT I CAN'T WAIT TO PUT ON, AN ATTITUDE THAT'S HAPPY & GRATEFUL, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I'M CONSTANTLY SHOWING IT OFF LIKE A BRAND NEW PURSE EVERY DAY I PUT IT ON AS WELL AS BRAGGING NON-STOP!!! #WeledaListens

I love Weleda on the account of many things. First of all, I love that Weleda uses biodynamic plants. I love the connection and energy to anthroposophy. For this reason, we only (by we I mean myself and my baby girl) only use Weleda products or products that I make because I know and trust the products. Weleda ultimately also inspired me to start making my own products. I now have my own business and sell my lip balms in close to 100 stores nationally! This has all been a gigantic blessing being a mother who gets to be at home with her now almost 2 year old pride of her life!! I have been a long time fan of Weleda. My baby girl and I share the same soaps and lotions. It's hard to choose one product for a possibly year supply, but I chose the calendula shampoo and body wash because we go through it the fastest! Im a sincere fan of Weleda. Glad to offer up a testimonial!
